today, morsi was trying to look presidential. he met with the ruling military council and he is expected to be sworn in at the end of this month, and then take the authorities. yes, he doesn't have the full authorities so a power struggle is still ahead between the muslim brotherhood and morsi and the military council, but after he was elected and judges ruled that the election was free and fair, i think over time it's going to be very difficult for the military to hold on to its extraordinary powers, so morsi and the muslim brotherhood will now be leading this country. it is a very different day and his supporters believe that this is an absolute miracle. a lot of morsi supporters are from islamist groups and who say democracy helped but this was really divine intervention. on the other side, the other 48% of egyptians who didn't want morsi think that this is a disaster that will bring the country back 100 years or more. women are particularly concerned, christians are deeply concerned about the idea of living under islamic law
